The TUI

A full-screen alternate-screen interface built to feel instant: incremental rendering with atomic frames, a bordered persistent composer, and zero black frames — ever.

buildwithnexus editing code with clean diffs
Editing session: tool headers, command output, the diff renderer, and the composer.

Diffs

Every edit renders with a dual line-number gutter, background-tinted added/removed rows, and word-level emphasis on the changed span — the same renderer for pre-approval previews and applied changes. File paths in edit headers are clickable (OSC 8) and open in your default app.

Autocomplete

slash-command autocomplete popup

Typing / opens a live popup describing every command; @ completes file paths, @kb: and @symbol: query the project knowledge base.

Multimodal

Live recording — a pasted screenshot rendering inline, @demo.mp4 parsed by ffmpeg, and a .docx report written, in real time.

Ctrl+V pastes clipboard screenshots — rendered inline in the transcript so you see what the model sees; @clip.mp4 attaches a video as ffmpeg-sampled frames; generated .docx paths click open in Word. Details in Multimodal input.
